[Verse]

     C#
When Ricky was young
                          G#
He picked up the steel guitar

And feelin' the heat

He picked up the beat
    F#                 C#
And overnight became a star

Leaving a trail of glory and gold
   F#                G               G#
He ran out of time before he got old
              C#       F#
He's still alive in my soul


[Chorus]

                     C#
And he's rockin' the night away
                        F#
And all the angels came out to play
             B
Let's do the rock, rock, rock
C#                 F#
Roll, roll, roll tonight
                     C#
And he's rockin' the night away
                     F#
And Mary Lou, she is here to stay
             B               C#
Let's do the rock 'n' roll tonight
           F#
And feel alright


[Verse 2]

   C#
If Elvis were here
                           G#
He'd know how to shake the night

He'd make you move

Get into the groove
F#                       C#
Dancin' till the morning light

And Buddy could sing Otis had everything
   F#             G               G#
Jimmy was loud he made us so proud
               C#             F#
They're still alive with us tonight


[Chorus 2]

                     C#
And he's rockin' the night away
                        F#
And all the angels came out to play
             B
Let's do the rock, rock, rock
C#                 F#
Roll, roll, roll tonight
                     C#
And he's rockin' the night away
                      F#
And Peggy Sue, she is here to stay
             B               C#
Let's do the rock 'n' roll tonight
           F#
And feel alright


[Bridge]


C#
Let's do the rock

Let's do the rock

Let's do the rock
           F#
And feel alright


[Solo]

C# F# C# F#


[Chorus 3]

                     C#
And he's rockin' the night away
                        F#
And all the angels came out to play
             B
Let's do the rock, rock, rock
C#                 F#
Roll, roll, roll tonight
                     C#
And he's rockin' the night away
                      F#
And Peggy Sue, she is here to stay
             B               C#
Let's do the rock 'n' roll tonight
           F#
And feel alright
             B               C#
Let's do the rock 'n' roll tonight
           F#
And feel alright
